The judges dismissed a batch of petitions filed by the COAI, and said that under "no circumstances" the decision by TRAI can be "termed as penalty"

The Delhi High Court upheld the decision by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to penalise operators for dropped calls. A bench of Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath dismissed a batch of petitions filed by the Cellular Operators Associations of India (COAI), and said, “We are of the view that regulation cannot be held to be beyond the scope of the regulating power of TRAI on any ground whatsoever.” They added that under “no circumstances” the decision by TRAI can be “termed as penalty.” The COAI has earlier called the regulation “arbitrary and whimsical” and that providing compensation to consumers amounted to interfering with the tariff structure. This could be done by an order and not a regulation.
